Dishonorable would be putting it lightly ....
(1) GEORGE W. BUSH
(2) DICK CHENEY
(3) PRACTICALLY EVERYONE ELSE CONNECTED TO BUSH
Even to simply call Bush the worst president in U.S. History doesn't even come close.
In the past 8 years our country has experienced many of the absolute worst situations imaginable while Bush was in charge.
(1) First we are attacked on 9/11, and Bush completely ignored all of the pre-9/11 warnings from other countries.
(2) Then Bush avoids an investigation into 9/11 until 18 months later when he is pressed by the families of the 9/11 victims. Bush makes certain that nobody (including himself) is ever held accountable for events which led up to 9/11.
(3) Then Bush starts an endless and unnecessary war in Iraq.
(4) Then the Bush Administration leaks the name of a CIA operative, and Bush commutes the prison sentence of Scooter Libbey, Cheney's chief of staff, who is found guilty. Scooter never serves a single day in jail.
(5) Bush ignores Hurricane Katrina until it is too late
(6) Bush doesn't regulate the housing industry, and allows the housing bubble to grow and burst, and puts the U.S. into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of 1929.
I know people want to point fingers back to Clinton, but let's face it ... Bush was in charge when all of the above happened. If anyone had the power to stop or prevent any of the above tragedies ... it was Bush.
Bush passed enough laws without Congress (using Vetos, Presidential Signing Statements) ... that he could have got necessary laws passed if he really wanted to.
As President Harry Truman once stated "
The Buck Stops Here".
